The Ulster Unionist leader, Sir Reg Empey, has said everyone should accept responsibility for the recent loyalist violence in Northern Ireland.
However, Sir Reg called for a radical review of the Parades Commission, saying the Orange Order has engaged in dialogue with republicans in north Belfast but was punished for doing so.
Speaking at a series of meetings with political parties in Dublin, he also said the issue of the extradition of the three Irishmen who escaped from Colombia could cause a major problem, adding that Ireland may find itself harbouring terrorists.
Earlier, the Orange Order blamed the Police Service of Northern Ireland for the violence.
The Order's Grand Master, Robert Salters, accused the PSNI of adopting an aggressive and arrogant approach. Mr Salters said police had displayed a complete lack of respect for the marchers in the Whiterock Parade at the weekend.
Dawson Baillie, the Belfast County Grand Master of the order, also blamed the PSNI, telling a west Belfast news conference this afternoon he found the police violence shocking.
SF/SDLP criticise Orange Order
The views of Orange Order leaders have been strongly criticised by Sinn Féin and the SDLP.
Sinn Féin General Secretary Mitchel McLaughlin said that the Orange Order and unionists need to accept responsibility for loyalist violence.
Mr McLaughlin said the ambivalence, hypocrisy and double standards that unionists and Orange leaders have shown over recent days is astounding.
The SDLP deputy leader, Dr Alasdair McDonnell, said the Orange Order had now crossed the line and taken a stand with the men of violence against the forces of law and order..
The Northern Ireland Chief Constable, Sir Hugh Orde, said at the weekend that the Orange Order must shoulder much of the blame for the rioting.
The violence, together with the feud between loyalist paramilitary groups, has prompted the British government to withdraw its recognition of the ceasefire declared by the Ulster Volunteer Force.
The decision was taken after a review by the Northern Secretary, Peter Hain.
Since midnight, the UVF and its sister organisation, the Red Hand Commando, have been regarded as no longer on ceasefire. The British government is continuing to recognise the UDA ceasefire.
Officer hurt in Lisburn
In continuing violence overnight, one police officer suffered minor burns when a petrol bomb was thrown at officers in Lisburn.
Police say six petrol bombs were thrown in total at police foot patrols and vehicles. One youth was arrested for riotous behaviour. Two large drums full of petrol were seized.
There was also trouble outside New Barnsley police station in west Belfast. Officers in vehicles were subjected to a sustained petrol bomb attack. Two blast bombs were also thrown. There were no reports of injuries.
In east Belfast, one petrol bomb was thrown at Mountpottinger police station during minor stone throwing incidents. All areas were said to be calm this morning.
